Vetch Lvl 3: The Vetchening

I realized that Dash didn’t pay the correct amount for his spellgems - he was short by 480 cr. I have adjusted his personal wealth.

That is the end of the first book. Here is the chronicle for those that wish to have it. I made editable fields in each of the blocks so if you download it you can type everything in before saving it to your drive.

Before I report the game anyone else beside Kcectic need reported?

I’ll take one. Please assign to # 7162-701 Tycho Stardrifter

I don't need one, but thanks for offering!

None for me, thanks. Vetch may by my only yahoo who is a Starfinder.

I am beginning my flight overseas now. I am going far for 24-48 hours but will get Internet as soon as possible.

Alright, I corrected the ship on the map, thanks to whoever moved it into a better position.

When I moved the ship it was with a +2 speed bonus, I'm not sure if Abes diverting energy to the shields effects me this round or next, if it's this round then we should be two spaces closer to the Rictus.

yeah, it's a little muddled but I think I only boosted movement once, which you took last round. So this round I fixed up the shields a little - and no boost to movement.

This ship combat stuff is tough! I hope we live long enough to master it! :D

Major FAQ Update (link) today. Looks like they're trying to get a handle on starship combat DCs... but some skill checks are given class bonuses as well!

Looks like people forgot PEMDAS so they were calculating Starship DC's as significantly higher. Looks like the DC's will be a bit lower now, more often than not.

Thank god. This will make Dash a little more effective as captain now that he can add in operative’s edge.

Yea ship combat is brutal. I am just hoping enough tweaking and iterations help clean it up. Anything I can put out from my end to help clean up the round status' to help it be more easily understandable?

@Kcectic the movement boost was for last round's movement which was the reason for the tweak that placed you in it's rear arc causing it not to shoot. No gun in the rear arc.

Updated and far more readable Starship Combat Cheatsheet added to the top. It has been fully updated with current FAQ

Cool, thanks for the tool!

I wonder what to buy.

Cybernetic toes.

Belated purchases:

Carbon skin, graphite
Spell Gems: 2x mystic cure and 2x Magic Missile

Spell Gems: 2x mystic cure and 2x Magic Missile

Unless you've leveled out of Mystic, not sure you can use them Magic Missile gems. Not on the spell list, I think.

Totally could be wrong.

He is a Star Shaman as well.

Happy Holidays!!!

Anyone hear anything from Kcectic? I hope he is alright.

I was wondering the same, but have heard nothing.

I’m on a short trip to Kansas City. Posting may be slow for a couple days.

Sounds good! Xynen hasn't posted anywhere on the boards on any of his characters since Dec 21, with no posts on any games as to being out.

Anyone have a name or two for recruitment as this only places us at 3 players? Probably recruit just one in case Xynen comes back.

I don't know anyone off the top of my head, but I agree, one more player is a good idea. If Xynen comes back (I hope!), we'll still just be 5 - not so many.

I believe we have one more coming in real soon. He just has to create his character. Then we will work on getting him into the party.

Excellent. Thanks, Tyr!

Corbin AKA Brother Butterfly AKA the Zane should be joining us shortly!

He is just finishing some last minute touch-ups on his character.

GM, can you please bot me until afternoon tomorrow? Sorry, but work items and deadlines.

No problem!

Zane- could you toss the link to your character info in your profile. :)

On another note. I believe Kcectic had your backup generator armor upgrade. That may come in handy if someone may need it.

While waiting to see what happens with the interpreter. I know a couple of you have already rolled some survival checks. If we could whomever is going to be doing the tracking could you roll around 12 survival checks. That will help speed along this process in the long run.

I am fixing my Character Sheet as I didn't exactly understand Bulk, but I'm better at it now. Zane's survival is not as good as Vetch, so I defer to his 12 rolls.
Zane can track, so if you want, I could assist.... ? Please advise.

@ Abe - I don't think Zane has powered armor yet. He just got a Lashunta Ringwear. The Power Generator is to power - powered armor - right? Pardon my ignorance. I'm learning the system on the fly.

If you wear Powered armor. Take it. If it's a "carrying thing" I can do it, but if we have someone hump the food, I'm actually not encumbered right now. 1 bulk puts me over.

My AC is now 20 and 22. I think that's really good for 3rd level right?

Lastly, Zane contributes the 170 credits.

The backup generator is just that - a backup generator. It takes one slot in any armor, but it does weigh in at 1 bulk.

You can connect charged electric items such as batteries to this miniature generator to recharge them. The electricity comes from the kinetic energy of your movement, which generates 1 charge every 10 minutes of movement. No more than one item can be plugged in at a time, and the generator doesn’t produce charges when you’re resting or otherwise stationary.

Now that I look at your armor though, it does not come with an available slot, so I guess I'll have to take it, making me encumbered. I can drop my pack in combat though to lighten the load for that, but overland I will be a bit slower (as will you - your movement is reduced by 5' in that armor I think).

One thing I can't seem to find though is the rule on how long it takes to swap out an upgrade? Anybody know that one?

10 minutes to install a new armor upgrade.

I’m working on my own encumbrance. An industrial backpack helps a little, but carrying extra supplies is brutal. I see a lot of backpack dropping at the start of combat in our futures.

Okay. I see now. I was looking at the Powere Armor section when I did a Generator search. Your answer is much better. I'll carry it. I DO have a slot with the Ringwear II. It says, Slot 1 - I'll plug up and be the meatshield/battery pack for the party. I specialize in Lazers, so I want this.

I am also buying an Industrial Backpack. I am now unencombered, but have a backpack just for food. I will be dropping that pack at the start of combat. I may just use Survival to live off the land.
-25 Credits - Industrial Backpack.

I bought 5 weeks of field rations without realizing the weight (next time I’ll get MREs). I can carry 3 without an issue, and I’ll pass 2 on to the interpreter/pack animal.

I’ve got an industrial backpack, but I just realized it doesn’t kick in for odd-numbered strength ability scores (Dash has an 11 Strength). I’ll switch with Abe, which will allow him to carry 1 more bulk.

I owed 15 more credits. Consider it paid.
I can also carry food.I'll carry 1 from each of the other PC's. for a total of 6 (3 of mine and three others)

I can finally continue listening to glass cannon again!

Oh yeah you can! What episode are you in? You into the Razmatazz yet?

Frakin’ Dash has passed me in listening, the Clank. But I just finished ep 125.

Slacker.

I’ve joined their Patreon at the $5 level for additional content.

I am still in Book 1 content. Only a few episodes in. Had to put most things on hold to spend last few days with family. Then first and last quarter here is always so hectic to get set up.

Freakin' Abe thinks he's too good to listen to this sort of thing. "I don't like fun things," he says. "I don't like laughing," he says. "Fun and laughter make my ears hurt," he says.

They do!

I have very sensitive ears... Why, vulgarities makes me just swoon dead away.
